Who Is Paying the Extinction Debt? Phylogenetic and Functional Structuring on Greek Islands Is Shaped by Sea‐Level Rise Since the Last Glacial Maximum

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Since the Last Glacial Maximum, sea‐level rise has isolated, fragmented, and shrunk islands, supersaturating squamate communities and triggering ongoing community relaxation. Integrating a paleo‐coastline model with community data from 163 islands, we show that phylogenetic overdispersion dominates insular squamate communities and increases with island

Many Stayers, Few Movers: Seasonal and Sex‐Based Movement Patterns in an Endangered Forest‐Dwelling Salamander

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
We investigated individual and population‐level spatial ecology in the forest specialist Salamandrina perspicillata, assessing spatial displacements, movement rates, home ranges and population density across sexes and seasons. Our results unravel a movement system characterised by many highly sedentary individuals and few relatively mobile ones (many ...

Predator Experience Shapes Behaviour: Comparing Stone Wētā (Hemideina maori) Populations With and Without Weka (Gallirallus australis hectori)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Map of Lake Wānaka showing the locations of Mou Tapu and Mou Waho, the two islands where Hemideina maori were sampled, with an inset image of a female H. maori. Mou Tapu is free of introduced mammalian predators and weka (Gallirallus australis hectori), whereas Mou Waho hosts an introduced population of weka.

How Prospecting for Informed Dispersal Shapes Biodiversity Patterns in a Metacommunity

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study uses an individual‐based model of a small mammal metacommunity to explore how prospecting effort influences competitive exclusion and the resulting dispersal‐diversity relationship. The results show that high prospecting effort can create a hump‐shaped relationship between dispersal and diversity by intensifying competition, a pattern that ...

Shrub Encroachment Rewires Microbial Networks to Suppress Soil Organic Carbon Mineralization in Subalpine Meadows

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Shrub encroachment in subalpine meadows reduces soil organic carbon (SOC) mineralization rates and its temperature sensitivity (Q10), particularly in surface soil. This shift is driven by soil acidification, increased stable carbon content, and altered microbial network interactions.

Niche Partitioning and Facilitative Coexistence of Two Sympatric Pheasants Across a Gradient of Human Disturbance

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study reveals that Hainan Peacock‐Pheasants and Silver Pheasants coexist through distinct temporal and spatial niche partitioning. However, human disturbance disrupts their positive association, as the sensitive Peacock‐Pheasant avoids high‐impact areas while the tolerant Silver Pheasant persists. Consequently, anthropogenic pressure renders their

Regeneration Strategies in Seed Plants: A Continuum Shaping Survival

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Seed plants dominate terrestrial ecosystems in part because regeneration is not a single event, but a coordinated sequence of traits acting across time and space. Here, we synthesize regeneration strategies in seed plants as a continuous, integrated framework spanning pre‐germination regulation, germination timing, seedling emergence, soil seed banking,
